Moo0 Right Clicker Powers up Your Context Menu

by Lee Mathews Sep 30th 2008

My mouse has two buttons, and dammit, I'm going to use them both. The Windows context menu is a trusted tool, and I rely on it heavily.

Moo0's Right Clicker makes several welcome additions to the default options. I particularly like the folder bookmarking feature, which makes it a snap to navigate between folders in any explorer view. Couple it with the copy to and move to features, and managing files and folders in Explorer is much simpler.

It also adds a "go up" option to the menu - much quicker than mousing up to the Explorer toolbar - and the ability to copy a file's name or full path to the clipboard. Right Clicker's duplicate feature will spawn a new window with the current location (even from a file dialog). I find this particularly useful when I'm uploading or editing something and notice some file system untidiness that needs to be addressed immediately.

Right Clicker is available in free and paid versions, and my only real gripe is that the advanced options are all visible but grayed out. You know, just to remind us what we're missing out on. Still, it provides a nice set of functions that context menu aficionados are sure to welcome.

I used to use an app where you could right click on the file and choose "duplicate file." It came in handy sometimes when you needed to make a copy of a file and then modify it. Otherwise, you have to copy the file to your desktop, rename it, move it, etc. The app was rjhExtensions but it stopped working for some reason. A Windows update might've broken it.

Do you know about the right-click and drag feature of Explorer's Context Sensitive Menu or alternatively hold down Ctrl and left-drag?

Agh! I never thought of that. i have only used that in the past when copying a file to a new folder. After reading your post I can't believe I never thought of that. Just hold CTRL and drag the file 1/4 of an inch and I have a copy. Damn. Thanks!! =)

No x64 support = a large barrel of fail.

Civiballs is a beautiful, soothing physics puzzle Time Waster

I have an absolute weakness for physics games, and while Civiballs isn't the strongest physics-based game, what it lacks in the physics department it makes up for a few times over in style and fun.

In Civiballs, you are presented with a few colored balls, and your goal is to get those balls into the same-colored urn on the level. The "civi" part of Civiballs is that there are 3 sets of levels to play, each representing a different civilization. While the civilization doesn't affect gameplay, the artwork for each level is beautifully themed to it's appropriate era.

To play the game, you are given only one tool - a sword with which to cut the chains that are holding the balls. The puzzle part of the game is in figuring out what order, and with what timing to cut each chain. Do it right, and all the right balls end up in the right urns, with no stray balls entering an urn (a no-no). Do it wrong, and you get to start over again.

Civiballs is not terribly deep on gameplay; the entire game can be completed in about 15 minutes. But if you enjoy this type of game, it will be a very enjoyable 15 minutes.
